My husband hooked me up on Slackware almost three months ago (he used to run Slackware in the '90s). While I use a large range of OSes on a daily basis, when I am under Linux I now prefer to use Slackware. This is my mini-article with thoughts on Slackware 9.1 after using it for three months on and off. Ten screenshots are included.

Until Linux has some standard similar to Install Shield, that's the only way I want to install software, unless people want to package software in self-installing .run or .bin. Enemy Territory (game), Army Ops, and many other commercial programs use this method, and it's pretty easy.
